Description
- The district features townhouses inspired by classic Danish townhouses, creating a compact layout that promotes human-scaled paths and gardens between the rows of houses.
- Each residence includes a front and back garden, in keeping with the traditional townhouse layout.
- The district is car-free, with parking available on the edge of the residential area.
- A network of small paths and squares connects the playground, the surrounding park, and the city, encouraging walking and cycling as primary means of movement.
- The spaces between the rows of townhouses are designed to act as gathering spaces and play areas.
- All houses have green roofs made of stonecrops and other plants, which help to cool interiors, act as a noise barrier, and provide water retention surfaces to manage rainwater.
- The houses are constructed using yellow brick, paired with zinc bay windows and wood-framed windows. The materials were selected for their durability and long-lasting qualities.
- The combination of sustainable materials and green roofs aligns with Copenhagen’s vision of achieving carbon neutrality by 2025.
- Each house has two bay windows, which are staggered across the facades, creating architectural variation.
